Going to be doing cam tensioners and wanted to change cams while I was in there.
I have a 2004 twin cam 88 and want to know what is the biggest cam I can run without having to any head work. I'm going to adjustable pushrods and aftermarket covers. New hydraulic tensioners and cam bearings.

Really makes a big difference over stock.
Not sure what some are saying about not worth it.... Makes no sence to me.
Best money I have spent on my 88.

Yeah I ride two up most of the time and long rides are single. Figured I might as well change them out while in there. And I do know motors and changing cams well make a difference even without other mods done to motor. I'm also going to have it dyno tuned after cam install.

I also do lots of 2 up riding. The Andrews 21 is a great cam for this. Gives you low end grunt and pulls as far as i care to push her. Some say the 26 is better, but it kicks in later in the rpm range. The 21 comes on at 1700 rpm, almost right off the line.

A year and a half ago I had Andrews 57H cams put in my 01 Road King with the intent of going to 95". Finally getting the 95 in after the trashed bike is rebuilt. I was quite happy with the 57's with the 88" but can't wait until the 95 wakes this thing up and anticipating being able to lift the front end up if I want to.
